    Thanks Beanie. One of the Mummies from the Tuesday group is going to look after him for me so I'm all sorted.

    Think he's revving up for another growth spurt as he seems to be sleeping A LOT at the moment and thatis usually followed by a jump in clothes sizes:cool:

    Spud - like Elfen I was thinking could he have some sort of tick list that he does himself. Perhaps you and he put it together, but his responsiblity to check daily and make sure he has things and also take a tick list to ensure that he is bringing things home or going somewhere. He'll get there :)

    We've got a white board he used to use, we could use that for things to remember to take with him.

    I'd like to look into longer term help, not sure where to start though :cool:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I have spoken to MIL.
    She has been 'hurt' since my party that I apparently said 'What are you doing here?' when I walked in over the whole babysitting issue.

    !!!!!!. Over 6 weeks she has been stewing and feeling 'hurt' and would much rather be upset with me rather than sorting it out. Frankly, I lost my temper a bit and told her that as a memeber of the family I think she should treat me with more respect and be able to come to me and tell me rather than carry around the 'hurt' for over 6 bloody weeks! I said about us going to Florida and having to share a house for 3 weeks-she said the time never arose to say something-I said (and I quote) Bullocks. You could have picked up the phone at any point and spoke to me an d the fact you doesnt hurts me greatly-I told her that she and my FIL are the only parents I have here and if she cant talk to me that it upsets me greatly. I apologised profusely for saying what I did, I am sorry for that- I have no issue admitting when I am wrong but she seems to feel acting the martyr and ruining mothers day etc is a better way to deal with it. !!!!!!.
